Now
with so much technology in the world, there are numerous ways of getting
therapy. One innovative way of getting therapy is podcasting. This might sound
novel to some people, who have regarded therapy as more in person event;
however, many people are tuning in to listen to healing sessions concerning
different varieties of topics. This is a great way for someone to listen to
stories at a time of their choosing. This can help them reach out for therapy
because they know other people are going through similar situations and it is
okay to ask for help.

The
podcasting companies like Gimlet Media along with psychiatrist Dr. Alexandra
Sacks started a podcast regarding topics like motherhood and pregnancy. Dr.
Sacks podcast “Motherhood Sessions” had many mothers reach out to talk about
their experiences. For Season 1, they had about 22 women come and record their
stories; however, only 10 made it to Season 1. This is good because many people
want to talk about mental health, and because of this there will be more of a
push for digital therapy.
This is a great start for a
new wave of therapy, because it makes people feel comfortable regarding their
health because they know other people who went through the same situation, and
can see how they handled it. One great thing about podcasts is that you can
listen to them anywhere from home or even in the store while grocery shopping.
